Garlic Shrimp Pasta Recipe

a fragrant, buttery-garlicky pasta with succulent shrimp, a splash of white wine, touches of lemon, and a smooth, lightly glossy sauce. It’s fast enough for weeknights but special enough for guests.

Ingredients (4 Servings)

For the Pasta

8 oz linguine, spaghetti, angel hair, or fettuccine
1–2 tablespoons kosher salt (for pasta water)

For the Shrimp & Sauce

1 lb large shrimp (21/25 or similar), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
6–7 garlic cloves, minced (use more if you want it very garlicky)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼–½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup dry white wine OR seafood/chicken broth
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth (if using wine, use less broth)
Zest of 1 lemon
1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional but delicious)
1 cup baby spinach or arugula (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Extra butter or olive oil to finish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Add a small handful of salt—this seasons the pasta from the inside.
Add your pasta and cook until al dente, usually 8–11 minutes depending on the type.
Before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and set it aside.
Drain pasta and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil so it doesn’t clump while you cook the shrimp.

2. Cook the shrimp

Pat shrimp dry so they sear nicely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
Add half of the minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant—about 30–40 seconds.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook shrimp for 1½–2 minutes per side, just until pink and curled.
Transfer shrimp to a bowl or plate so they don’t overcook.

3. Build the garlic-butter sauce

In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon butter.
Add the rest of the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant—don’t let it brown.
Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and tomatoes if using.
Let the mixture simmer for 2–4 minutes, reducing to a light, glossy sauce.

4. Combine pasta, shrimp, and sauce

Add the drained pasta to the skillet.
Toss well so the pasta absorbs the sauce—if needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
Return the shrimp to the pan and gently toss everything together.
Add spinach or arugula and let it wilt into the pasta.
Remove from heat and add Parmesan and parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning—more lemon, more salt, or an extra pinch of pepper flakes depending on your preference.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Use fresh garlic—pre-minced jars won’t give the same aroma.
Don’t overcook the shrimp—pull them off heat early; they continue cooking when mixed into the pasta.
Use pasta water wisely—a splash helps the sauce cling and creates a silky finish.
Choose your pasta shape—long noodles catch the garlicky sauce beautifully.

Optional Add-Ins & Variations

Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta: Add ¼ cup cream or 3 tablespoons mascarpone.
Tomato-Basil Version: Add more tomatoes and fresh basil.
Garlic Shrimp Alfredo Hybrid: Stir in ½ cup half-and-half with Parmesan.
Spicy Version: Increase red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with garlic bread or warm crusty baguette.
Pair with roasted asparagus, steamed broccoli, or a crisp green salad.
Finish with extra Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Storage

Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or water to restore moisture.

Ingredients (4 servings)

For the Pasta

8 oz whole-wheat spaghetti, thin spaghetti, or angel-hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon light butter (or 2 tsp regular butter)
5–6 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 lb medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional but recommended)
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or seafood broth
¼ cup dry white wine (or additional broth + 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional but adds freshness)
2 cups fresh baby spinach (optional)
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Extra lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook your pasta until just al dente—thin pasta cooks quickly, so check early.
Before draining, reserve ½ cup of pasta cooking water (this helps emulsify the sauce).
Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the shrimp

Heat the olive oil and light butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant—about 30–45 seconds, not browning.
Add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook for 1½–2 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate to prevent overcooking.

3. Build the light garlic-lemon sauce

In the same skillet, add the wine and broth.
Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits for flavor.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and tomatoes (if using).
Simmer 2–3 minutes, letting the liquid reduce slightly.
Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted (optional).

4. Finish the pasta

Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet.
Toss gently to coat with the sauce.
Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if you want a silkier, lighter coating.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss again.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.

Tips for Keeping It Skinny

Use whole-wheat pasta or chickpea pasta for added fiber and protein.
Light butter adds creaminess with less fat, but you can omit it and use all olive oil.
Shrimp cooks fast—pull it off heat early to keep it tender and reduce the need for added fats.
Lemon zest + juice provide bright flavor with minimal calories.

Flavor Variations

Skinny Cajun Shrimp Pasta: Add 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning to the shrimp.
Extra Veggie Version: Add sliced zucchini, asparagus, or broccoli florets during the sauce stage.
Skinny Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta: Stir in 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt off-heat for creaminess.
Mediterranean Style: Add capers, chopped olives, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette.
Add roasted cherry tomatoes for extra sweetness.
Pair with sparkling water with lemon or lime.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a tablespoon of broth or water—avoid overcooking the shrimp.

GREAT GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA

GREAT GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA

Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti is a simple and quick pasta dish ideal for a weekday meal. It features savory, tender shrimp sizzling in a garlic butter sauce, complemented by light and fluffy spaghetti. This dish is a family favorite that I can typically prepare in just 15 minutes.

How to prepare garlic shrimp spaghetti

Begin by cooking the shrimp with salt and red pepper flakes in butter until they are fully cooked. Flip the shrimp to cook the other side, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the remaining garlic and butter, adding lemon juice, reserved pasta water, and parmesan cheese. Use a whisk to blend the sauce and scrape up any remnants from the shrimp.

Next, add the cooked spaghetti on top of the sauce. Toss everything together until the sauce thoroughly coats the spaghetti.

Return the shrimp to the skillet and garnish with parsley before serving.

Tips for preparing the recipe

Cook the pasta al dente. This is important because you will be tossing it with the sauce and shrimp for a few minutes after it is done cooking, and you want to ensure it does not become too soggy.

Thaw and dry frozen shrimp before cooking. I prefer purchasing frozen shrimp, so after thawing, I always make sure to pat it dry to prevent excess moisture from affecting the searing process.

Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp. They only need a few minutes of cooking, and overcooking will make them chewy. Cook until they are opaque and pink in color.

For a creamier texture, consider using milk instead of pasta water. I prefer to keep it light with lemon juice and pasta water, as the garlic and butter provide excellent flavor. However, milk is also a viable option!

Frequently asked questions

What type of pasta can you use for this dish?

I enjoy making this dish with long pasta such as spaghetti or linguine, but you can use whatever you have available. Penne and shells would also work well. Opt for whole grain pasta for added fiber and to reduce the calorie content.

What accompaniments pair well with shrimp pasta?

A generous serving of this pasta dish stands well on its own, yet I prefer to present a smaller serving alongside a crisp Caesar salad. Additionally, consider trying my olive oil garlic bread as a delightful side!

How long can shrimp pasta be stored?

This pasta is ideally enjoyed immediately after cooking. Should you have any leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for enjoyment the following day.
